|
|
|
|
## About
|
|
This script helps you set up a desktop system on top of FreeBSD 10/11. It will install PKG, X, a Desktop Environment of your choice, some optional Desktop software and set up a 'wheel/video' user.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
1. Install FreeBSD, but do not create any additional users
|
|
2. Copy the installDesktop.sh script onto a USB flash drive and stick it into your freshly installed FreeBSD machine
|
|
3. Log in as root, mount the stick and execute the script. This could look something linke this:
|
|
|
|
mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt
|
|
/mnt/installDesktop.sh
|
|
|
|
4. Follow the instructions on screen. If you made a mistake, use CTRL+C to abort, then simply run the script again.

## Known issues
|
|
GNOME seems to work (and look) best - recommended desktop
|
|
KDE untested, because KDE4 is so old now
|
|
CINNAMON produces only a black screen... help?
|
|
|
|
Code::Blocks install is currently borked in 11.1 (startup crash), so you probably need to manually install it from ports
|
|
|
|
No grphics driver installation, this has to be done manually. |
